The energy efficiency class of a household washing machine shall be determined on the basis of its Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) as set out in Table 1.
The Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) of a household washing machine shall be determined in accordance with point 1 of Annex VII.
Energy efficiency classes
Energy efficiency class | Energy Efficiency Index |
---|---|
A+++ (most efficient) | EEI < 46 |
A++ | 46 ≤ EEI < 52 |
A+ | 52 ≤ EEI < 59 |
A | 59 ≤ EEI < 68 |
B | 68 ≤ EEI < 77 |
C | 77 ≤ EEI < 87 |
D (least efficient) | EEI ≥ 87 |
The spin-drying efficiency class of a household washing machine shall be determined on the basis of the remaining moisture content (D) as set out in Table 2.
The remaining moisture content (D) of a household washing machine shall be determined in accordance with point 3 of Annex VII.
Spin-drying efficiency classes
Spin-drying efficiency class | Remaining moisture content ( %) |
---|---|
A (most efficient) | D < 45 |
B | 45 ≤ D < 54 |
C | 54 ≤ D < 63 |
D | 63 ≤ D < 72 |
E | 72 ≤ D < 81 |
F | 81 ≤ D < 90 |
G (least efficient) | D ≥ 90 |
